He previously attended Palm Beach Lakes High School. As a member of the New Orleans Saints, Lewis was involved in a controversial play during the 2018 National Football League championship game as Los Angeles Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman was not penalized for a hit and early contact on intended receiver Lewis. The following season, the league introduced a rule that allowed coaches to challenge for pass interference.
